Anglers may retain one un-clipped adult chinook as part of their daily salmon limit in Brewster Pool

Jul 27, 2017

Action: Allow retention of one (1) un-clipped adult chinook salmon as part of the current salmon daily limit.

Effective date: July 27, 2017, 12:01 a.m. until further notice.

Area: From the Highway 173 bridge at Brewster upstream to the Highway 17 bridge at Bridgeport.

Reason for action: Current estimates of un-clipped (wild) adult chinook salmon returning to the Okanogan River exceed spawner escapement needs. Approximately 2,000 wild adult chinook are available for harvest by recreational sport anglers.

Other information:

WDFW will be monitoring wild adult chinook harvest closely and may shut this fishery down on short notice.
